SMOKERS KIT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 239,832, dated April 5,1881. Application filed October 18, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Mourns PACHOLDER, of the city of Baltimore and Stateof Maryland, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Smokers Kits,of which the following is a full, true, and exact description, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention is a smokeis kit constructed, as fully describedhereinafter, to afford a convenient receptacle for forms of tobacco andtheir coverings, protect the same from injury, and permit thereadyremoval of such as are Wanted without disturbing the remainder.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my improved smokerskit, a portion of the body being broken away to show the manner ofstoring the contents. Fig. 2 is a perspective view, illustrating themode of 00V erin g a form of tobacco in making a cigarette. In aseparate application for Letters Patent I have described a mode ofputting up finelydivided tobacco by making the same into forms orcylinders A, which are afterward used for chewing, smoking in pipes, orcovered with paper, as cigarettes To protect such forms, and to preventbreaking and disintegration until required for use, I construct a box,B, the body a of which corresponds in width to the length of the forms,and in length to the space occupied by a series of such formsan rangedside by side, ten being shown, and in depth to several superposedlayers, so that there can be no abrading of the contents and little orno movement of forms when thebox is disturbed or transported. The box isprovided with a flanged cover or lid, b, of sufficient depth to receivea body of cigarette-paper suitably secured, and which may be arranged asa tablet, f, each sheet easily detachable from the package and gummedalong one edge, 00.

To prevent breakage of the forms A in the course of removal, I employstrips of paper or fabric 0, upon folds of which the layers are suc-Vrein ain.

On the removal of a form it may be made into a cigarette bydetachingtthe outermost sheet of the tabletf, placing the form therein,as shown in Fig. 2, rolling the paper around the same, and securing thegummed edge by pasting it down onto the body after moistenin g the same.

K is a slip of oiled paper used to cover the forms to prevent access ofmoisture, the strip extending around and beneath and over the forms.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

1. A smokers kit consisting of a box having a body adapted to receiveand retain securely series of tobacco-forms, and a lid provided at theinside with a package of cigarettepaper, the sheets of which are gummedat the edges and detachably secured to the lid, substantially as setforth.

2. The combination, in a smokers kit, ofa box containing and retainingsecurely detachable uncovered forms of tobacco, and provided with atablet of separately-detachable cigar ette-covers in sheets adapted tosaid forms, substantially as set forth.
